Does anyone know a way to change the qmail home directory at compile
time? i.e /var/qmail becomes /var/qmail2. I need to run two 
        
copies of 
    
smtpd where one instance is accessing a different 
../control/smtproutes 
file.



  1. *SMTP clients hang when sending messages to 
        
Qmail-Scanner.* This
    
     is because Qmail-Scanner processes the message 
        
completely before
    
     returning "OK" to the client. This doesn't matter when
the client
     is a remote mail server (there's no-one there to get 
        
impatient),
    
     but when the remote client is a user - it can be 
annoying. The fix
     (as such) is to install Qmail-Scanner on a non-standard 
port (e.g.
     26), and put a "pure" Qmail server up on port 25, 
        
which forwards
    
     all mail to port 26. That way the user sees immediate 
        
acceptance
    
     of their message, and the system will process it at 
it's own rate.

As described in the qmail-scanner faq:

I have setup the second smtpd server on port 26 running
qmail-scanner. 
How do I make smtpd on port 25 forward to port 26 - I acheived this 
using the smtproutes file however the second copy of qmail (running 
qmail-scanner) loops i.e it keeps send itself the message due 
to using 
the same smtproutes file. Does anyone know a way to overcome this?

If you have any suggestions that would be great!

Dan

Stupid question but do I create in ./control or is it in the source?
